Definitions
- the present invention relates to thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compositions and processes for the continuous production of those compositions. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a thermoplastic elastomer composition comprising a thermoplastic, such as a polyamide, and a non-halogenated isobutene containing elastomer, such as butyl rubber, that has been modified with an unsaturated carboxylic anhydride.
- TPE thermoplastic elastomer
- the invention also relates to continuous processes for producing said thermoplastic elastomeric compositions using, for example, extruders.
- Thermoplastic elastomer compositions are hybrid materials of thermoplastic and elastomeric polymers.
- Thermoplastic elastomer compositions combine desired properties of thermoplastics, for example processability via injection molding or film blowing and/or recyclability, with desired properties of elastomers, for instance high elongation at break, low tensile set and good flex-fatigue resistance.
- thermoplastic elastomers There are several classes of thermoplastic elastomers.
- One subset of thermoplastic elastomers are thermoplastic vulcanisates (TPVs), where the elastomeric polymer is dispersed in the thermoplastic phase in the form of discrete vulcanized particles.
- TPVs are produced by melt-blending thermoplastics with elastomers and curatives in a dynamic vulcanization process. Therefore TPVs are also referred to as dynamically vulcanized alloys (DVAs).
- DVAs dynamically vulcanized alloys
- EP 0 722 850 B1 discloses a low-permeability thermoplastic elastomeric composition that is excellent as an innerliner in pneumatic tires. This composition comprises a low permeability thermoplastic in which is dispersed a low permeability rubber.
- EP 0 969 039 A1 discloses a similar composition and teaches that the small particle size rubber dispersed in the thermoplastic was important to achieve acceptable durability of the resulting composition.
- Thermoplastic elastomeric compositions particularly useful for tire and other industrial rubber applications have been commercialized by Exxon under the trade name Exxcore DVA Resin.
- the production of the Exxcore DVA Resin relies on a dynamic vulcanization process for combining a brominated copolymer of isobutylene and methylstyrene (BIMSM) with nylon at a temperature above the nylon melt temperature.
- BIMSM brominated copolymer of isobutylene and methylstyrene
- this graft polymer acts as compatibilizer between the apolar isobutylene containing polymer and the polar barrier thermoplast (nylon).
- the formation of this graft polymer which is formed in an in-situ process, is important for the production of a thermoplastic elastomer composition with small particle size rubber dispersed in the thermoplastic. Hence, the grafting reaction between thermoplast and elastomer is important to achieve acceptable durability of the resulting composition in industrial applications.
- BIMSM is produced in a two-step process comprising (i) the cationic polymerization of isobutylene and methylstyrene to poly(isobutylene-co-methylstyrene) and (ii) bromination of poly(isobutylene-co-methylstyrene) to BIMSM.
- EP 0361769 B1 teaches a two-step process for preparing a nylon butyl rubber blend consisting in step (i) preparing a modified butyl rubber by grafting maleic anhydride to chlorinated or non-halogenated butyl rubber and step (ii) the melt-blending of the modified butyl rubber with nylon.
- the resulting blends offer superior physical properties and superior impermeability compared to a similar blend relying on chlorobutyl rubber and non-halogenated butyl rubber.
- the processes described in EP 0361769 B1 requires at least two different mixing steps in order to achieve the preparation of a nylon butyl rubber blend with desired properties.
- WO2009151859A1 describes a process for producing a dynamically vulcanized alloy, the alloy comprising at least one isobutylene-containing elastomer and at least one thermoplastic resin in melt-processing devices (extruders).
- WO2009151859A1 does not teach grafting reactions between a thermoplastic and non-halogenated polyisobutylene elastomers or butyl rubber elastomers.
- US20110054093 describes the use of maleic anhydride modified oligomers, notably polyisobutylene oligomers, in thermoplastic elastomer compositions to match the melt viscosities of the elastomeric and thermoplastic phases. US20110054093 does not teach grafting reactions between a thermoplastic and non-halogenated polyisobutylene elastomers or butyl rubber elastomers.
- US 2008076879 discloses peroxide cured thermoplastic vulcanizates comprising a thermoplastic and an isomonoolefin-multiolefin elastomer, such as butyl rubber. More particularly, the invention relates to peroxide cured thermoplastic vulcanizates wherein the elastomer comprises at least 3.5 mol % of multiolefin in order to facilitate peroxide curing. These thermoplastic vulcanizates are halogen-free.
- thermoplastic elastomeric composition using non-halogenated isobutylene-containing elastomers, particularly butyl elastomers, with minimal process steps.
- modification processes such as bromination and maleation
- the resources and energy expedited for the modification processes, such as bromination and maleation, applied to the non-halogenated elastomers in order to make them suitable for TPE production would be eliminated.
- halobutyl rubber or regular butyl rubber with sulfur-based curatives in a thermoplastic elastomer composition one also removes the possibility of having the finished article contaminated with extractable organic and/or inorganic halides or sulfides.
- the present invention provides a novel approach for preparing thermoplastic elastomer compositions from non-halogenated isoolefin polymers by incorporating an unsaturated carboxylic anhydride into the thermoplastic elastomer.
- the grafting material covalently binds to the elastomer via a free-radical grafting process, and covalently binds to the thermoplastic via a condensation reaction between functional groups of the thermoplastic (i.e. NH 2 , OH, CO 2 H).
- the compatibilization of the elastomer and thermoplastic phases is a result of the covalent link forming between the thermoplastic and the elastomer resulting in a tensile strength and elongation at break superior to that of a reference material that does not contain grafting material.
- the elastomers and thermoplastics of the present invention may be blended to form a dynamically vulcanized alloy.
- dynamic vulcanization is used herein to connote a vulcanization process in which the vulcanizable elastomer is vulcanized in the presence of a thermoplastic under conditions of high shear and elevated temperature.
- the vulcanizable elastomer is simultaneously crosslinked and preferably becomes dispersed as fine sub micron size particles of a "micro gel” within the thermoplastic.
- the resulting material is often referred to as a dynamically vulcanized alloy ("DVA").
- Dynamic vulcanization is effected by mixing the ingredients at a temperature which is at or above the curing temperature of the elastomer, and also above the melt temperature of the thermoplastic component, in equipment such as roll mills, Banbury( TM ) mixers, continuous mixers, kneaders or mixing extruders, e.g., twin screw extruders.
- the unique characteristic of the dynamically cured compositions is that, notwithstanding the fact that the elastomer component may be fully cured, the compositions can be processed and reprocessed by conventional thermoplastic processing techniques such as extrusion, injection molding, compression molding, etc.
- Scrap or flashing can also be salvaged and reprocessed; those skilled in the art will appreciate that conventional elastomeric thermoset scrap, comprising only elastomer polymers, cannot readily be reprocessed due to the cross-linking characteristics of the vulcanized polymer.
- thermoplastic elastomer composition comprising the steps of: providing a thermoplastic resin; providing a non-halogenated elastomer comprising repeating units derived from at least one C 4 to C 7 isomonoolefin monomer and at least 3.5 mol% of a C 4 to C 16 multiolefin monomer; providing an unsaturated carboxylic anhydride having 4 to 16 carbon atoms; admixing in a first stage of a continuous mixer the thermoplastic resin, the elastomer and the carboxylic anhydride to create a thermoplastic elastomer composition comprising the carboxylic anhydride grafted to the elastomer; admixing in a second stage of the continuous mixer a curing system suitable for use with non-halogenated elastomers to dynamically vulcanize the thermoplastic elastomer.

- Polymer may be used to refer to homopolymers, copolymers, interpolymers, terpolymers, etc.
- a copolymer may refer to a polymer comprising at least two monomers, optionally with other monomers.
- the monomer is present in the polymer in the polymerized form of the monomer or in the polymerized form of a derivative from the monomer (i.e. a monomeric unit).
- the phrase comprising the (respective) monomer or the like is used as shorthand.
- catalyst components are described as comprising neutral stable forms of the components, it is well understood by one skilled in the art, that the ionic form of the component is the form that reacts with the monomers to produce polymers.
- Rubber refers to any polymer or composition of polymers consistent with the ASTM D1566 definition: "a material that is capable of recovering from large deformations, and can be, or already is, modified to a state in which it is essentially insoluble, if vulcanized, (but can swell) in a solvent . . . ". Rubbers are often also referred to as elastomers; the term elastomer may be used herein interchangeably with the term rubber.
- phr is parts per hundred rubber or "parts”, and is a measure common in the art wherein components of a composition are measured relative to a total of all of the elastomer components.
- the total phr or parts for all rubber components, whether one, two, three, or more different rubber components is present in a given recipe is normally defined as 100 phr. All other non-rubber components are ratioed against the 100 parts of rubber and are expressed in phr. This way one can easily compare, for example, the levels of curatives or filler loadings, etc., between different compositions based on the same relative proportion of rubber without the need to recalculate percentages for every component after adjusting levels of only one, or more, component(s).

- the mixing and dynamic vulcanization are preferably carried out in a nitrogen atmosphere.
- the addition of the curing components and the temperature profile of the components are adjusted to ensure the correct morphology is developed.
- the curatives may be added in one or more stages. This is especially advantageous in embodiments where a peroxide initiator (or second peroxide curing system) is employed to aid in the grafting of unsaturated carboxylic anhydrides to the elastomer.
- the curatives may then be added just before the elastomer and thermoplastic resin are combined or even after the thermoplastic has melted and been mixed with the rubber.

These compounds may act to increase the 'effective' amount of thermoplastic material in the elastomeric/thermoplastic compound.
- the amount of additive is selected to achieve the desired viscosity comparison without negatively affecting the characteristics of the TPE. If too much is present, impermeability may be decreased and the excess may have to be removed during post-processing. If not enough of the viscosity matching agent is present, the elastomer may not invert phases to become the dispersed phase in the thermoplastic resin matrix.
- the elastomer is preferably provided in an amount of from 20 to 80 wt% of the thermoplastic, more preferably from 30 to 80 wt%, yet more preferably from 40 to 80 wt%.
- the elastomer is mixed with the thermoplastic and preferably uniformly dispersed throughout the thermoplastic in order that the thermoplastic vulcanizate formed upon peroxide curing of the mixture has substantially consistent properties throughout. Any suitable mixing method or equipment may be used that achieves uniform dispersion of the elastomer in the thermoplastic; for example, an internal mixer, a mill, or an extruder may be used.
- the thermoplastic and elastomer are provided as pellets or beads and mixed using an extruder that produces conditions sufficient to melt at least the thermoplastic and preferably both the thermoplastic and the elastomer.
- the thermoplastic and the elastomer may be provided to the extruder either together or sequentially.
- the temperature of the thermoplastic and elastomer in the extruder during mixing is preferably at least 100 °C, more preferably at least 130 °C, yet more preferably at least 150 °C, even more preferably at least 160 °C, still more preferably at least 170 °C up to about 260 °C.
- the peroxide curing system is added to the mixed thermoplastic and elastomer in the extruder.
- the peroxide curing system is either mixed with the thermoplastic and elastomer prior to initiating vulcanization or concurrently therewith, depending on the temperature employed in the mixing stage of the extruder. If mixed at temperatures below that required to thermally initiate peroxide cross-linking, the temperature is raised to form the thermoplastic vulcanizate.
- the thermoplastic vulcanizate may be used to create a variety of shaped articles.
- the shaped articles may be formed by any suitable method, for example extrusion molding, injection molding, blow molding or the like.
- the article is selected from tire curing bladders, tire innerliners, tire innertubes, and air sleeves.

Maleic anhydride was used as supplied by Aldrich.
- Example I1 is close to identical in composition to Example C1, but it includes maleic anhydride and some additional Peroxan HX-45 P in its composition.
- Example I1 showed a value for the ultimate elongation of 97% and a tensile strength of 16.8 MPa, thus an increase in tensile strength and elongation at break compared to Example C1.
- Example I1 shows a permeability coefficient of 75 ml mm m -2 d -1 .
- Example I1 is hence less permeable than typical halobutyl innerliners (180 ml mm m -2 d -1 ) which is favorable for a potential application in tire inner liners.
- Example I2 is identical in composition to Example C2, with exception of an additional 2 phr of maleic anhydride and 0.055 phr of additional Peroxan HX-45 P (fed into zone 0 of the extruder) in its composition.
